Research Fellow in Computer Vision and Machine Learning
School of Computing, University of Leeds, UK

(Full Time, Fixed term 14 months)

You will work with Dr Mark Everingham (http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/me/) on an
EPSRC funded project investigating new methods for learning articulated human
pose estimation from weak or approximate supervision. The project has three
main aims: (i) developing machine learning methods to learn from approximate
annotation and "side information" for example simple models of human anatomy;
